About Station Cafe

Station Cafe is a Chinese takeaway on London Rd in Hemel Hempstead, next door to Hemel Hempstead train station, which puts it beside the platforms for anyone collecting an order on the way home. The kitchen makes its food in-house and blends Chinese cooking with British influence. The menu includes salt & chilli chicken, ribs and crispy duck chow mein, with fried rice and curry dishes alongside. Orders are made for collection, so the food goes straight from the kitchen to the customer. The business is family-run.

Customer Review Summary

The complaints are mostly about food quality and service. One reviewer found the crispy duck chow mein soggy and fatty with blackened duck, another called the schezwan sauce bland and the black bean chicken tasteless, and a third got egg fried rice instead of the boiled rice ordered. A separate delivery complaint describes a promised wait that stretched past two hours, repeated calls, and a rude response with no discount offered, ending with the customers going elsewhere for dinner.

  • boicu samson
    “Station Cafe is a classic, no-nonsense Chinese takeaway focused on speed, value, and familiarity rather than atmosphere. The menu is broad and very traditional: salt & chilli chicken, ribs, chow mein, fried rice, curry dishes, crispy duck, and tofu options. Portions are generous, prices are reasonable, and consistency is the main strength. The salt & chilli range and fried rice dishes are the most commonly praised—reliable, well-seasoned, and filling. This is strictly takeaway-first. Décor and dine-in experience are irrelevant here; you’re ordering for convenience. Service is fast, functional, and transactional. Food quality is solid for a local takeaway, not gourmet, but dependable when you want something familiar without surprises. Bottom line: good local Chinese takeaway, strong on portion size and classic dishes. Ideal for quick dinners and repeat orders. Not a destination—just a reliable workhorse.”
